Thanks for the responses but I just want the article.

Thanks :-)

Hi there:

I called viewcamera magazine to get the article from the July/August 1996 issue on bellows making.

They no longer have the magazine on file. Is there somebody that has it that can pass me on a copy of

it through email or photocopy? I can't get it from them so I have to get it somewhere.

Thanks!

Darcy

You can ask the same question here:

I bought all the crap put one together didn't work fussed with it. Bought a calumet tester

couldn't be happier.

Sounds like one of those classified ads. I was at Main st. at 5:15 pm on sat dec 28th. I saw

you at the bus stop you were wearing a pink fur coat with blue shoes, I was wearing a jean

jacket my hair is spiked and green. I picked up your macbook pro after you dropped it and

smashed it. I winked to you after passing. I wished I got your number. Are you out there?

Desperate.

I think your best bang for the buck and keeping the weight down is a Manfrotto 055

(Bogen 3021) legs and a 460mg magnesium camera head from Manfrotto (Bogen 3437). A

very lightweight but strong system. I chuck it around not worried since it isn't a $1000

carbon fiber head combo. Has three leg extensions and don't hesitate using it for large

format.

For a starter camera you might be better off getting an older field camera. You will be able

to use a wider range of lenses and have the movements.

Why are you looking for a dedicated macro lens? Unless absolute sharpness is needed

from film edge to edge you don't need one. For example, shooting flowers or bugs you,

don't need a dedicated macro lens for 4x5. For shooting some product shots where

absolute sharpness is critical, then a macro lens may be needed. What are you looking to

use it for?

Look at the reflection of the image on the lens from the front of the camera. (You will be at the front of the camera with your back to the scene. Look at the relection on the lens and place the nd grad filter on the lens. Works for most lenses.

Here is your answer.

You can search this forum and ask your question here also.

If you don't need the coverage or the extra view like Michael said, you will be very happy

with the 75mm lens. I have the 75mm lens and I use it for 6x17 work and it is excellent. I

use it with the center filter but I am shooting 6x17 (5x7). If you are shooting 4x5, you may

get away without using the center filter but you will get some minor vignetting. You can

also compensate for the vignetting after in photoshop cs2 it has a filter to fix vignetting. I

figured if I am going to put out the money for a 75mm lens, I may as well go all the way

and get the center filter also. I bought both used. Another thing to think about, are you

using it for architecture,buildings then teh 72mm is the better lens, are you using it

primarily for landscapes, the 75mm lens is better because of its size. I hear the 72mm is

quite a big lens.

Hey, the majority of my image making is film ( I do use digital) and the strange thing is I

am still selling my prints, go figure!

I have an aluminum manfrotto #055 legs and 3437 head very light setup. I chuck that

thing around abuse it use it on small to large format with success. Didn't cost much I

wouldn't be chucking around an expensive cf with expensive head. This one I abuse and It

serves me well.

Why would you do this, if you are scanning your film (digitizing it) why are you not color

correcting in photoshop?

Hi Troy how are you doing?

Nice picture! Where is it?

Darcy

You can try an old optical rangefinder that fits in the accessory shoe. See this thread:

http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CNjd&tag=

at the bottom of the page is the same rangefinder I use. They are hard to look through but

give you measurements from approx 1 foot to infinity.

Look at the auction site.

CS2 has filter?distort?lens correction. This filter corrects for vignetting. I think you are still

better off using a center filter though since the information in the shadows along the

edges may not be there once you correct. Whereas with a center filter the information will

be there if you expose properly.

CS2 has filter?distort?lens correction. I guess arrow characters don't work well in html. It

should say:

Adobe photoshop CS2 has filter----distort---lens correction.
